BRIEF: Create a metamorphic loop in which three objects complete an action and then morph into the next object.

INSIGHT: This animation was hand drawn in Adobe Animate.
IDEA: The concept for this project was to transform my three objects in a way that that created an environment and told a story along the way. Inspired by The Great Gatsby, this animation focuses on the superficial glitz and glamour of elite life. While the objects together seem to show sophistication, alone they have their own frustrations and pressure. For instance, the ring symbolized the hypnotic nature of money as a means of coercion. The glass, while moving in a seemingly celebratory manner, contains a substance that's over-reliance can alter the interactions of others throughout the course of the evening. Lastly, the cello. While classical music is oftentimes seen as a peak sophistication, in social settings like elaborate parties, it can fall into the background and people can easily forget the people behind the sounds, all the work they've done and their own struggles at the hands of perfectionism. The absence of other noise besides the sounds that these objects themselves make serve as a means of emphasis on what each has to say instead of allowing them to get drowned out in a cacophony of chatter and superficialities.
